What Happens to the Parent Who Survived the Narcissist?

Many conversations about narcissistic abuse focus on the narcissist or the children impacted by the relationship. But what about the parent who survived? In this video, I share lessons I’m learning while co-caring for my mom after years of dysfunction, chronic stress, and life with a narcissistic spouse. We explore the long-term impact of trauma, the effects of living in survival mode, and what healing, forgiveness, compassion, and caregiving can look like later in life. If you’ve struggled with complicated feelings toward a parent who survived narcissistic abuse, this video is for you. Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.
